MONTREAL – Minister of Canadian Heritage Mélanie Joly brought #DigiCanCon to Montreal Friday, the fifth of six in-person discussions on Canada’s cultural and creative industries.

"Montréal, home of many successful and world-renowned artists, creators and cultural businesses, is a great place to continue our conversation”, she said in a statement.  “I know that these discussions will allow our Government to better understand the needs and expectations regarding Canadian content creation, discovery and promotion in this new environment in which we live.”

Canadians are encouraged to join the conversation and take part in the discussions at any time through the Web portal and social media, using the hashtag #DigiCanCon, or to register for the remaining Facebook Live event on November 7.  Additionally, stakeholders may lead in-person discussions in their communities using the consultation kit available online. 

Input will be accepted through November 25, 2016.
